"Jim was a true professional. He not only helped us buy our dream home but he protected us from an undisclosed special assessment when he carefully reviewed the condo meeting minutes, discovered a major upcoming capital project that was not disclosed and negotiated a major seller’s credit to cover the cost.
" - Kevin & Jennifer Callaghan.
Jim’s vast investment sales experience with complex transactions and clients who ranged from institutions to high net worth individuals, combined with his intimate knowledge of the South Jersey Shore real estate market, has proven to be an extremely valuable benefit to his clients when he represents buyers or sellers of luxury homes in the premier resort markets of Stone Harbor and Avalon, NJ.
Jim has been a southern New Jersey resident and Stone Harbor vacationer since age 3. Stone Harbor vacations are a four generation tradition in the Sheehan family and today the entire clan of over 125 family member and friends arrange their Stone Harbor vacations during the same weeks in July.
Jim is an avid boater, kayaker, fisherman and golfer.
